  • Patent number: 8671452
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for transferring a Rights Object (RO) for a content between devices via a server, wherein a sending device converts a first RO taken by itself to encode into a second RO, and sends an RO move request message including the second RO to the server, whereas the server converts the second RO included in the RO move request message into a third RO and transfers the third RO to a receiving device, whereby the receiving device receives the third RO from the server for installation, wherein the sending device deletes or modifies the first RO at an appropriate time point.

  • Patent number: 8416708
    Abstract: A PT (e.g., Push-To-Talk, Push-To-View or Push-To-Data) service, and more particularly, to a method and device for controlling a floor (talk burst authority, permission to send media burst, etc.) in a PT service, are discussed. According to an embodiment, the method for controlling a state of a Push-To (PT) server, includes starting, by a PT server, a stop talking (T2) timer which is a type of media burst control timer that operates with respect to a terminal having permission to send a media burst; checking, by the PT server on expiry of the T2 timer, whether a media burst release message was already received while the T2 timer was running; and entering, by the PT server, a media burst idle state if the media burst release message was already received as a result of the checking step.

  • Patent number: 7672280
    Abstract: In a broadcast/multicast service based on user location information, when a terminal sets contents desired to be received in a specific area, a broadcast/multicast server checks current location information of the terminal transmitted from a location server or from the corresponding terminal, selects contents provided in the corresponding area, and transmits it to the terminal. Thus, a waste of a communication channel can be prevented, and since a user can selectively receive contents or information according to his/her location, user's satisfaction and convenience can be enhanced.
